Metallica performs ‘Star Spangled Banner’ before Giants-Cubs game

Monday was the 10 year anniversary of former San Francisco Giant Barry Bonds breaking the home run record at AT&T Park. Bonds wasn’t the only star in attendance, however.

Fans in attendance were treated to a performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” by Metallica band members James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett as part of Metallica Night at AT&T Park. Both were playing customized San Francisco Giants guitars.

The band posted a video of its performance on Metallica’s Twitter page.

For the fifth year in a row, James & Kirk took to the field to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" during Metallica Night with the @SFGiants!
